Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Beshir Home, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (4th floor and above) for a quieter stay. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests a decent level of soundproofing, but being higher up reduces the likelihood of external street noise from the city. Additionally, the hotel's address suggests it's located in a central area, so being higher up also minimizes the impact of any internal noise from other guests.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift (elevator), as the hotel only has one lift and it's likely to be in use frequently. The data doesn't specify the lift's location, but in a 3-star hotel, it's often near the lobby or central area.
Best views
The hotel's address doesn't provide information about the surrounding buildings or natural features. However, rooms on the higher floors (4th floor and above) might offer a view of the city skyline.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 are likely the quietest due to their higher elevation and distance from the potential noise sources.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the city can be a concern, especially if you're a light sleeper. Addis Ababa is a bustling city, and the hotel's location suggests it's in the heart of the action. Consider bringing earplugs or requesting a room on a higher floor for a more peaceful stay.
Insider tips
When checking in, ask the staff about the hotel's parking options, as the data doesn't specify if there's on-site parking or nearby alternatives. Request a room with a balcony if you want a bit more space and a possible view of the city, but keep in mind that the data doesn't confirm the presence of balconies in all rooms.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Addis Ababa
💡 Visit on a Sunday morning for the liveliest scene. Try the roasted corn (200 birr) or sambusa from stalls. Don't miss the stone relief map of Ethiopia near the central monument.
💡 Enter from the main road near the Tunisia junction. Keep valuables deep in zipped pockets. Haggle hard—start at 30% of the asking price. Best in mid-morning before the heat peaks.
💡 Wear good walking shoes; the path is steep and dusty. Take a minibus from Sidist Kilo for 10 birr. Bring water and a jacket—it gets windy at the top. Entry to the church grounds costs 50 birr.
💡 Combine with a walk around the beautiful university compound. Entry is 50 birr (cheapest museum in town). Give yourself 1 hour. The cafe next door does decent coffee for 15 birr.
💡 Go early on a weekday to avoid school groups. Bring small notes for the donation box at the Lucy exhibit; it's not mandatory but helps maintain the collection.
